The POINT of placing this cache is that we have found a very PLEASANT PLACE
The town of Pauanui meaning Big Paua (abalone) in Maori is on the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula in the North Island of New Zealand. It lies at the mouth of the Tairua River on its south bank, directly opposite the larger town of Tairua.The population was 741 in the 2006 Census, an increase of 42 from 2001.
The two settlements are 30 kilometres east of Thames. Several islands lie off the mouth of the river, notably Slipper Island to the southeast and the Alderman Islands 20 kilometres to the East.
The area is a popular holiday destination, with an estimated summer holiday maker population of over 15,000 and properties with views of the ocean are regularly sold for over NZ$1 million.
The settlement has an airstrip used by recreational light-aircraft pilots and is noted for game fishing, diving, surfing and its excellent beach.
This Cache is on the Estuary side and there is plenty of parking and a safe beach for the children. Make sure you bring a picnic.
The cache is a small Sistema container with the usual goodies and a TB for the FTF.
The co ordinates are S 37 00.784 E175 51.308 They are accurate but due to some large trees you may have to use the clues to locate.
Please re hide very well. Beware of Muggles during busy Holiday times.
You will need to bring your own pencil/pen.
